D&H Cabooses & MOW

Horace Dean was an avid fan of D&H cabooses and had been collecting photos of each he could find, either by taking the photo himself or by obtaining a copy wherever he could. The photos on the page are due in large part to Horace, and as such, this page is dedicated to his memory.

D&H #35886, built in 1913, is now owned by Steve Hepler, the President of the Whippany Railway Museum in Whippany, NJ. It is pictured on the museum grounds on May 22, 2016. (Steve Hepler photo)

35057Jordan Spreader
Notes on Jordan Spreaders by Gordon A. Davids, P.E. (former Track Supervisor for the D&H):
They were built by O. F. Jordan Co. for the primary purpose of spreading ballast in the track, and clearing ditches (with those big wings). The D&H bought them with the V-plow nose to use them for snow removal as well, and they worked well for that. The wings were also used to clear snow from side tracks and yard tracks. Some of the spreaders, at least the one at Carbondale, had a "double track" nose, an extra wing mounted on the left side of the V so all the snow was plowed to the right, away from the adjacent track. The "Pink Spreader," the #35057, was actually faded D&H red. It came from the Rutland RR about 1961 or 1962, and from then at least until 1969 it stayed at Rouses Point. When I was Track Supervisor at Plattsburgh, we kept it painted green with yellow trim (by keeping it out of Colonie) and touched up the paint every spring. Normally, the spreaders went to Colonie every fall for overhaul before the winter season, but we conspired with the Mechanical Department at Rouses Point to do all the work up there so we could keep the spreader set up the way we wanted it. It had a special headlight power connection to the locomotive, a direct air connection to the locomotive main air reservoir, a feed valve (reducing valve) on its air tank, a propane stove for the cab, a propane torch for thawing the works, and an air windshield wiper. It was the Hot Rod of all the D&H spreaders. When it snowed and blowed in Canada, we would make two round trips a day to Delson, ahead of 9 and 35, run around the balloon track, and return to Rouses Point ahead of 34 and 10, usually pushed by NJ engine #4050 or #4051, or both if it was real bad. We ran about 35 mph with snow flying everywhere, and we had to know where the crossings and switches were so we could raise the nose in time. The flanger signs were sometimes hidden in the snow, even though the Lacolle section gang did very well at keeping them in place. We made the worst coffee in the world on that propane stove, but it kept us warm in the cab.

Snow Burner

Comments from Gordon A. Davids, P.E. (former Track Supervisor for the D&H):

They carried a work equipment number like SB-3. Fairmont Railway Motors built them as weed burners, and we used them for that too, but mostly for snow melting. The tank carried diesel fuel, which was mixed in the burner pots on the ends of the long pipes in front of the machine. An air blower sent air out the pipes, where it burned in the pots making a big, hot flame. We used them to melt snow in yard switches, and never on the main track. They would burn up the insulated joints in a main-track turnout, and the Signal Department would take exception to the practice. We had to be very careful with drainage, because a pool of water turned to ice was a thousand times worse than a foot of snow in a switch. They worked well on the lead at Bevier Street Yard in Binghamton, because the track was up on hill, and well drained. (see below photo by Neil C. Hunter)
